A winding part of the coil includes effective side portions, a first curved side portion connecting one side ends of the effective side portions, and a second curved side portion connecting the other side ends of the effective side portions. The magnet faces the effective side portions of the coil. A yoke fixed to the magnet includes a first yoke, a second yoke, a one side connection yoke and the other side connection yoke connecting the first yoke with the second yoke, and the one side connection yoke and the other side connection yoke are provided at positions so as not to overlap with the effective side portions and the magnet.
